MatCholeskyFactorSymbolic

 Performs symbolic Cholesky factorization of a symmetric matrix.

Synopsis

#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode  MatCholeskyFactorSymbolic(Mat mat,IS perm,MatFactorInfo *info,Mat *fact)
Collective on Mat

Input Parameters

mat - the matrix
perm - row and column permutations
info - options for factorization, includes 
         fill - expected fill as ratio of original fill.

         dtcol - pivot tolerance (0 no pivot, 1 full column pivoting)

                  Run with the option -info to determine an optimal value to use

Output Parameter

fact -the factored matrix

Notes

See MatLUFactorSymbolic() for the nonsymmetric case. See also MatCholeskyFactor() and MatCholeskyFactorNumeric().

Most users should employ the simplified KSP interface for linear solvers instead of working directly with matrix algebra routines such as this. See, e.g., KSPCreate().
